SEEGIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 656,975, dated August 28, 1900. Application filed June 22,1899. Serial No. 721,428. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it mag/concern:

YBe it known that I, LUDWIG HIRscH, a citi- Zen ot the United States, and a resident of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oilers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved oiler for bicycles, sewing-machines, and other purposes of that class in which the spout is adapted to slide, so as to be opened or closed and supply the oil or prevent the escape of the same from the oiler.

It has for its object to provide means for opening and closing such Oilers, preferably supported and carried by the stui'iing-box of the oiler, and also to provide means for preventing axial rotation of a movable spout of the oiler.

It consists of the novel devices herein shown and described.

In the drawings I have shown the preferred form of my improved device, in which- Figure l represents an elevation ot an oiler containing my improvement. Fig. 2 is a vertical central section thereof. Fig. 3 is a similar section ot' a pocket-oiler embodying my improvement with the spout withdrawn toits open position. Fig. 4 is .a cross-section on the lines 4 4 of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a view of a modification.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

In my improved device I provide a stuiiingbox adapted to be seated in the neck of the oiler, through which stuflng-box a spout for the discharge of the oil is made movable, an elongated valve, preferably supported from the stuffing-box, being arranged in line With the shifting spout and adapted to engage therewith to close the discharge-orifice from the oiler. I also preferably provide a guide for said spout, preferably supported from the stufiing-box, which is adapted to engage with a part of the spout to prevent axial rotation of the latter.

Referring to the embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings, A represents the body of an oiler to which myimproved device is applied and which may be of any desired shape.

7o is the stuflng-box, which is adapted to lit tightly into the neck of the oiler.

B is a shifting spout movable in the stu ffing-box. a is a valve for said spout, supported in line with the spout, so that when the spout is pushed downward it will pass over valve a and close the discharge-orifice through the shifting spout. This valve is preferably made elongated, so that spout B will be closed in all positions except when drawn outward to nearly the limit of its outer movement. Valve ct is preferably supported from the stuffing-box itself, as by leg a, which is secured to the stuffing-box. In the form shown in the drawings the valve a and leg a form the two legs of a U-shaped device. I also provide a guide which is adapted to engage with a part of the spout to prevent axial rotation of the latter. In the form shown in the drawings I accomplish this by means of a flaring mouth h/ at the lower end ot' the shifting spout. In a notch C is the enlarged mouth-engaging leg a. As sliding spout B moves up and down the engagement between the sides of notch C and leg a prevents axial rotation of the spout. The means of engagement between the spout B and the guide may be widely varied, it not being essential that the notch should be connected with the spout or the projection with the guide-pin. In Fig. 5 the collar b2 is formed on the end of the spout in place of the flaring mouth, and in this case a recess or groove is cut inside of the collar, leg a engaging with such recess. The leg a thus acts as a valve and leg a as a guide-pin for sliding spout B. The iiaring mouth b and the collar h2 when used prevent the withdrawal of the spout from the body A of the oiler, and the Haring mouth also aids the passage of the end of the spout over the end of the elongated valve a. When the spout is drawn outward until it clears valve a', oil can be ejected from the oiler. Vhen valve Bis pushed inward until it engages with valve a', the passage of oil from the can is prevented.

Many modifications may be made in the apparatus shown in the drawings herein without departing from my invention. Thus the guide o. :need not necessarily be supported by the stufling-box, although I prefer this IOC form, because when thus arranged the stuifing-box carries all of the mechanism and may be used in diderent oilers, as desired. The shape of the guide and elongated valve may be varied. Thus instead of having a notch in the spout encircling a part of the guide any other form of engagement may be used between the two that will prevent the axial rotation of the spout. The relative lengths of the guide and elongated valve may also be varied.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is*

1. A stuffing-box adapted-to fit into an oiler, having a shifting spout movable therein, a valve for said spout supported within the oiler vin line with the shifting spout and al guide for said spout adapted to engage with the spout while the spout is being pushed inward or pulled outward, whereby axial rotation of the spout will be prevented.

2. A stuffing -box adapted to fit into an oiler, having a shifting spout movable therein, a valve for said spout supportedv within the oiler in line with the shifting spout and a guide for said spout supported from the stu ffing-box and adapted to engage with the spout while the spout is being pushed inward or pulled outward, whereby axial rotation of the spout will be prevented.

3. A stuing box adapted to fit into an oiler, having a shifting spout movable therein, a guide for said spout supported from the stuffing-box and adapted to engage with the spout to prevent axial rotation of the latter while the latter is being pushed inward or pulled outward, and a valve for said spout supported from the stuing-box in line with the shifting spout substantially as set forth. 4. A stuiiing-box adapted to fit into an oiler, having a shifting spout movable therei thelegs of the guide-pin being attached to the ,stuffing-box and the other leg being in line with the shifting spout and adapted to engage therewith to close the discharge-orifice from the oiler, substantially as set forth.

5. A stuffingbox adapted to fit into an i oiler, having a shifting spout movable therein, a guide for said spout supported from the stuffing-box and adapted to engage with a part of the spout to prevent axial rotation of supported from the stuffing-box in line with this shifting spout, substantially as set forth. 6. An oiler, composed of a suitable body, a shifting spout or tube guided in a stuffingbox of the body and provided with a recessed mouth at its` inner end', and an interior U- shaped guide-pin, one of the said legs of the guide-pin being attached to the stufiing-box and the other leg being inline with the spout, the recess of the mouth engaging with the first-mentioned leg and preventing the axial rotation of the spout, substantially as set forth.

7. An oiler, composed of a suitable body, a shifting spout or tube guided in a stuffingbox of the body and provided with a flaring and recessed mouth at its inner end, and an interior U-shaped guide-pin, having legs of unequal length, the longer one of said legs Ibeing attached to said stuing-box and the f shorter leg in line with the spout, the recess of the mouth engaging said longer leg and preventing the axial turning of the spout,

substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my i name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
